I have a 200k input 160k output Modine heater I am about to hang. It is a non power vented unit and will be vented vertically (7" pipe) Shop is 40x40 with 13 ft ceilings, insulated. I understand the preferred location to hang them would be in the corner, facing another corner.
The side that I much prefer to put the heater on has a garage door. The heater is BIG and no matter what I do, if I hang it in either of those corners that I prefer it to be, the heater will hanging about 6" from the door rails and will be blowing right on them. If it below the rails, the heater is too low. I don't know if that is a big issue or not, but.....
So I am wondering why I couldn't just mount the heater dead center of the side wall, vs putting in the corner. I do have several ceiling fans hung on the ceiling already and may add another 1 or 2. Would that work good enough or is it just really going to be that much worse than being in a corner?
This will be a use when out there, off when not there kind of heating. During the coldest times I might set the thermostat on 35 just to keep anything from freezing out there.
I am attaching a coupe of pics that may help. One of the pictures shows both corners I would use, and I drew a yellow spot in the center of where I am wondering if it would be OK to mount it.
I will also mention as my pics show, I have attic trusses that allow for future upstairs. The ceiling is insulated up there, but the bottow ceiling is still open and unfinished so I know the heat will be rising up there. hoping the ceiling fans will help with this and if I need to i will go upstairs and install a ceiling fan up there to push down heat.
Thanks
